Discover the Difference:
Lab Grown vs. Natural Diamonds

At DeScenza Diamonds, we believe in offering our customers both choice and clarity. Whether you're searching for a timeless natural diamond or a modern lab grown alternative, our goal is to help you make an informed decision rooted in transparency, quality, and trust.

What's the Difference?

Natural Diamonds

Formed over billions of years beneath the Earth's surface, natural diamonds are geological marvels created by intense heat and pressure deep within the planet. Every diamond is a one-of-a-kind result of nature's craftsmanship, often taking millions—if not billions—of years to form.

Natural diamonds tend to retain their value over time, making it the perfect heirloom to pass on.

*DeScenza's diamond trade-in policy applies exclusively to natural diamonds.

Lab Grown Diamonds

Lab grown diamonds, also known as synthetics, are real diamonds created in controlled laboratory environments using cutting-edge technology that replicates the natural diamond-growing process. They are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds—but grown in months, not generations.

Lab grown diamonds typically cost significantly less than natural diamonds due to their short production timeline and abundant supply.

*DeScenza's trade in policy does not apply to lab grown diamonds.
